A simple switch from incandescent bulbs to energy-saving Earthmate CFL light bulbs can be made in light fixtures that have a simple on/off switch. Earthmate CFL light bulbs have soft white light to provide warm, ambient lighting in your home. Determine the light output you need to find the appropriate Earthmate bulb for your fixture.
If you need extra bright light for reading, knitting, or other specialized tasks, choose an Earthmate Full Spectrum bulb. These light bulbs are specially designed to provide crisp, white light and display colors vividly. Earthmate Full Spectrum bulbs are available in three models to fit your desired light output.
The Earthmate Dimmable Spiral, Candle, and Reflector CFLs are specially designed to work with standard dimming circuits in your home, so no additional equipment is needed. Not every CFL is designed to work in dimmer switches, so make sure you only place a designated dimmable Earthmate bulb in dimming fixtures.
The Earthmate 3-Way CFL light bulb is designed to work in 3-way table lamps and fixtures to provide three different light settings: low, medium, and high. Its soft white light is perfect for creating a warm glow while cutting back on energy usage.
For maximum light output, use the Earthmate Reflector CFL light bulb in recessed cans and down lighting applications. Earthmate Reflector bulbs are designed to maximize usable light by reflecting light downward instead of losing light inside the can. Earthmate Reflector bulbs can also be used with standard dimming switches.
If you love the look of decorative candle-shaped light bulbs but also want to enjoy energy savings, then the Earthmate Dimmable Candle CFL light bulb is for you. Perfect for use in chandeliers, bathrooms, and ceiling fans, the Earthmate Dimmable Candle is made with a candelabra base and comes with a medium base adapter, so it can be used in any household socket.
Small amounts of mercury are an essential ingredient in most energy efficient light bulbs; therefore, all CFL light bulbs should be disposed properly in order to recycle mercury and prevent it from leaching into the environment.
Many Earthmate CFL light bulbs contain an average of only 1 milligram of mercury – 75% less than standard energy efficient bulbs. Look on the back of each Earthmate package to find a bulb with lower mercury content.
